The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Hearing this, Shen Yunlong finally calmed down a bit. He also believed this possibility was very likely. After all, a master of such high caliber suddenly appearing in Tianshui City was truly bewildering, suggesting there must be some unknown reason.

Aside from the hunting competition, he really couldn’t think of any other reason that could keep such an expert here.

”It seems that in this hunting competition, I must perform well. Only in that case will that master notice me!” Shen Yunlong said.

Shen Rushuang saw that her brother finally calmed down and also breathed a sigh of relief, saying, ”That’s right, brother, you absolutely cannot be hasty. The most important thing now is the hunting competition. When the time comes, perform well, and the master will surely notice you! You must not lose your composure.”

”I understand. I was indeed impulsive just now. Fortunately, you reminded me. Otherwise, I might have messed things up instead.” Shen Yunlong said with a smile.

”Alright, as long as you’ve thought it through, you should get some rest. I’ll check to see if there’s anything else that needs preparing.” Shen Rushuang said.

After leaving Shen Yunlong’s room, Shen Rushuang thought for a moment and went straight to Su Changfeng’s room.

The more she thought about this matter, the more something felt amiss. A few days ago, Su Changfeng and Wang Junyi left the city one after the other. What exactly happened remains a mystery, but Shen Rushuang always felt that there was definitely more between Su Changfeng and Wang Junyi than met the eye.

Of course, she never connected Wang Junyi’s master with Su Changfeng. The reason she sought out Su Changfeng was simply to probe for more information about Wang Junyi from him.

”You’re not thinking of coming here to sleep, are you?” Su Changfeng looked at the sky outside and then at Shen Rushuang, who suddenly appeared, with some surprise. Although they were nominally husband and wife, they truly had no relationship at all.

Most importantly, Su Changfeng had no interest in Shen Rushuang whatsoever. In his eyes, he absolutely could not betray Han Xue; otherwise, he would never forgive himself.

Shen Rushuang snorted disdainfully, opening her mouth: ”You should take a look at your status. You don’t have the qualification to touch me!”

Hearing this, Su Changfeng let out a long sigh of relief and said, ”That’s good, that’s good.”

Looking at his reaction, Shen Rushuang’s face immediately darkened: ”What do you mean?”

Shen Rushuang didn’t think much of Su Changfeng, and Su Changfeng never cared about her either. Although many men in Tianshui City were infatuated with Shen Rushuang, Su Changfeng wasn’t one of them.

In Su Changfeng’s eyes, this woman was just a stranger, having nothing to do with him, and he never thought there would be anything between them.

With an innocent look, Su Changfeng shrugged his shoulders and said, ”Nothing really. Since you came to find me, there must be something up. Just say it quickly—I need to rest.”

Shen Rushuang stared intently at Su Changfeng. Since her youth, she had encountered countless men and was accustomed to their fervent, amazed, and covetous gazes. However, when Su Changfeng looked at her, his eyes were clear, as if he didn’t see a stunning beauty standing in front of him at all.

This was utterly incomprehensible to Shen Rushuang. Could it be that this man was truly someone who remained indifferent in the face of beauty?

Or was there something wrong with his body?

Slowly approaching Su Changfeng, Shen Rushuang purposely curled her lips in a smile, breathing fragrant words as she said, ”Su Changfeng, do you think I’ll believe you? What kind of tactic is this? Playing hard to get? All men are the same. I don’t believe you have no thoughts at all when faced with beauty.”

”Are you trying to seduce me now?” Su Changfeng let out a sneering laugh, looking Shen Rushuang up and down, saying, ”To be honest, although you are somewhat pretty, I truly feel nothing.”

When it comes to beauty and allure, Su Changfeng hadn’t seen anyone surpass Yue Qingshan yet. He could remain unmoved facing Yue Qingshan, so why would he be interested in a Shen Rushuang?

In the past, Yue Qingshan had thrown herself at him countless times, even trying to get him drunk, but in the end, it was all to no avail.

Shen Rushuang gritted her teeth as she tried to detect any hint of disturbance in Su Changfeng’s expression, but after staring for what seemed like forever, she was ultimately disappointed. Su Changfeng’s gaze remained as clear and pure as before, totally unlike any man she had ever encountered.

”Is there something wrong with your body?” Shen Rushuang looked at Su Changfeng disdainfully. She couldn’t believe anyone would remain indifferent to her. If such a person truly existed, it could only mean that something was wrong with them physically.

”Alright, whatever’s on your mind, just speak quickly. There’s no need to find a sense of presence with me.” Su Changfeng said with a hint of impatience. It didn’t matter what Shen Rushuang thought. He had no intention of entangling himself with her.

Besides, with Wang Junyi now in the picture, the Shen Family held little value in his eyes. Hence, he didn’t want to entangle himself with too many others; it was too troublesome.

”You’d better be honest with me. When you met with Wang Junyi, what exactly happened? Do you know about Wang Junyi’s rapid rise of two ranks?” Shen Rushuang’s voice was icy cold. Her confidence, something she always took pride in, was severely hit by Su Changfeng. Her beauty, which had always been a powerful weapon, was useless against Su Changfeng, and she couldn’t tolerate that.

”Wang Junyi and I?” Su Changfeng raised an eyebrow and said, ”Need I remind you how much Wang Junyi hates me? If he met me, would I still be alive to return? Besides, would I be aware of such a significant matter like rising two ranks?”

This information undoubtedly sparked a frenzy in Tianshui City, with everyone discussing it. Su Changfeng naturally knew about it, but it didn’t really matter. For now, everyone only knew about Wang Junyi’s rise by two ranks, with no additional information being disclosed—and that was enough.

So he thought that it was possible Wang Junyi couldn’t help himself, or perhaps due to other reasons, Wang Chongxing found something out.

Su Changfeng could still understand it. Now that the City Lord Mansion was in a difficult situation, the three major families in Tianshui City were trying to overthrow Wang Chongxing. In such times, revealing Wang Junyi’s strength could indeed alleviate some pressure on the City Lord Mansion.

One must know that, in a small place like Tianshui City, the strength of a fourth-rank expert was considered quite formidable and could certainly intimidate people.

”How could that be?” Shen Rushuang naturally didn’t believe Su Changfeng’s words and asked again, ”Back then, when you and Wang Junyi both left the city, you’re now telling me you didn’t meet him. Do you think I’ll believe that? Plus, what about the disappearance of the ten-plus second-rank experts who went with Wang Junyi? How do you explain that?”

”If you tell me the truth, about how Wang Junyi managed to become a fourth-rank expert in such a short time, you can ask for anything!” Shen Rushuang said.
